NM sheds - old pic

I've made reference to a couple elk hunts in the Gila down in NM. This really crappy photo represents a morning haul while elk hunting and not really looking for sheds. Between four of us, we probably had between 50-70 sheds in 25 days of hunting, mostly deer but a couple elk. Repeated it the next year when we drew tags again.

Thats awesome. When I was down there I walked away thinking, man I am glad I am not trying to find a deer down here. Pretty slim pickins.
They have a deer in the office in Albeq. that is unreal that was poached up in the North. Holy cow that animal was huge.

Funny about the deer...hardly saw a deer on the hoof. I did see one bachelor group of 30"-type bucks that made my knees weak in '95 but that was about it. I've been in the Albuquerque office but don't remember that buck. I know Colorado's main office in Denver has a B&C 3x3 mounted that is insane.

It was a new mount in 2006 I think. Its an unreal non typical. I guess it wasn't in the "normal" Jic area either but in the area just NW of Alb. Cool looking country. I kinda want to hunt that 2b stuff just to day I did it, kinda like the Pauns, or Zion or the Rim.

Makes me wonder if there are still places like that with sheds lying all over. Many more shed hunters now than in '94.

I hear you Bone! I fell in love with NM on day one. I love that country - just something about it.
I met some great folks from the Adobe Ranch one day when I tried to call in a bull. I was working a 6x satellite bull when he started moving off. I ran to cut him off and wound up in the lap of a young hunter from Alabama who was there on a guided hunt with his dad. Long story short, me and his guide tag-teamed this bull trying to get that kid a shot. It didn't work out but the guide invited me and my buddies to the ranch for dinner. The history of that ranch house is incredible. Teddy Roosevelt stayed there as well as other notable people with historical significance. It was full of artifacts from days gone by and the venison chili prepared by the cook was unbelievable.
And back to sheds, that kid from Alabama found a 360-class match set of elk sheds on the the last day of his hunt. They were tucked up under some big junipers, so they were still pretty dark and unweathered. That was a cool way to end his hunt.

Man, a couple of those are real bruisers! I only put in for Elk last year in NM. Guess I need to rethink that, huh?
